Company Release - 9/28/2017 1:26 PM ET

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The
Meet Group, a fast-growing portfolio of mobile connection apps, has
been named one of the 76 fastest growing companies by the Philadelphia
Business Journal. Prestigious companies from across the region were
selected by revenue growth over a three-year period from 2014 to 2016.

“Greater Philadelphia’s economy is increasingly diverse and dynamic,”
said Philadelphia Business Journal Publisher Sandy
Smith. “We consider it a crucial part of our mission to identify and
recognize the companies driving our region’s growth.”

The Philadelphia Business Journal crunched the revenue numbers from all
public companies who qualified and were headquartered in Greater
Philadelphia using Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

“We've had a busy and productive couple of years. We closed two
acquisitions in the last 12 months, and look forward to closing our
third, of Lovoo, in October,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of The Meet Group.
“We have also executed on an aggressive product pipeline, launching Live
video on our MeetMe, Skout, and Tagged apps. We’re honored to be
included on the Soaring 76, and we’re looking forward to continued
growth in 2017 and beyond.”

All 76 companies who made the list will find out their ranking at a
special event held at the SugarHouse
Casino on Sept. 28, 2017. The Meet Group will also be recognized in
a feature report in the Sept. 29, 2017, weekly edition of the
Philadelphia Business Journal.
